PLDT landline change

PLDT has announced that select areas in the country will have their telephone numbers changed from 7-digits to 8-digits this year. To know more about the changes in PLDT's landline number, check their website here. Last Tuesday, PLDT also launched their PLDT Call All bundle -- a wireless landline extension where subscribers can call anywhere in the Philippines. This promo is available to existing PLDT residential landline subscribers for an additional fixed monthly charge of Php250. The bundle adds a PLDT Landline Plus (PLP) SIM card which can be used with any openline handset and serves as an extension of the fixed landline. What makes the PLDT Call All promo more expansive is that the mobile phone with the PLP SIM-card can be taken anywhere in the Philippines and still be able to call any landline number in its local area. However, Digitel complained to the NTC that the PLDT Call All promo violates the rules on interconnection of local exchange carriers (LECs).
